00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 3: to me, He say, Vince, what is memorial today? So

36
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, I don't know if it's a trick

37
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 3: question or not. So I was like barbecue. He said, no,

Speaker 3: you a hole? What answer it? I'm like, that's what

39
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: we do, barbaric you man? When I tell you, Bill

40
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 3: couldn't do nothing to laugh. He could do it because

41
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: I'm like, what do you ask me? I'm like, it's

42
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 3: a trick question. What are you asking me? So he

43
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 3: went on to tell everybody about memory. Then I'm like, hey, man,

44
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: I'm like, be a coach. I thought you was asking

45
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 3: me what what we do on memory though he said, nah,

46
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 3: I know you asked whole I'm talking about that.

47
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 5: That that I'm like, my bad.

48
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: That was my first question from Bill, and that's how

49
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 3: I answered it.

50
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: The first question and he and he had a little

51
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: jolly smile. That was, Oh, I asked, so you guys

52
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: gotta get out of here. No.

53
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 6: No.

54
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 3: When he used to ask Grunk question, we would laugh.

55
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 3: If Grunk knew it it didn't know, we would laugh

56
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 3: and he would laugh.

57
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 7: So it's like he would.

58
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 3: But I truly believe with Bill, and when it came

59
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 3: to me, I can truly think that. I think Bill

60
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 3: was testing me early on in my career on.

61
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 6: My knowledge of the game.

62
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: I really was, And I appreciate him so much for

63
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 3: doing that because he taught me so much about football

64
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 3: in the game itself.

65
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 8: You know.

66
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: A lot of questions that he would You gotta understand.

67
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 3: When I was a rookie, our defensive line, we was

68
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 3: in charge of knowing quarterback pivots, the route, tree blocking schemes,

69
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 3: cadence motions.

70
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 6: We had to know all of that, which.

71
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 4: Gives you an advantage because if you know the concepts,

72
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 4: you know that the quarterback's got to get the ball, like, yes,

73
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 4: we which a lot of It's crazy to me that

74
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 4: teams don't do that.

75
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: That's but Bill stopped. I think we were the last

76
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: class that came in that he did that too. But

77
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 3: I think looking back now, I think he was just

78
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 3: basically trying to see how smart in my my football

79
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: IQ was because in Bill my Bill is thinking three

80
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 3: four steps ahead. He's like, let me see, I'm ann

81
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 3: test and see what he knows. And I prove to

82
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: him that I know the game of football, you know.

83
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 3: And I think that allowed us to do a lot defensively,

84
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 3: scheme wise, with me knowing what's going on, not only

85
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 3: from a defensive line standpoint, but you know, the back

86
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 3: end from the defense and offensively what they're trying to

87
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: create and build through formations and this and that. So

88
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 3: it was like a not only we had you know,

89
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 3: the secondary, but if it was rotneyl if it was

90
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: deaf with the calls, you know, we had our linebackers

91
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 3: with the calls. Now he have trust that, Okay, I

92
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: know Vince will be able to get calls out, get

93
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: us lined up up front, and it allowed us to

94
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: play so much faster as a defense, and I, you know,

95
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 3: I credit all of that to Bill because how he

96
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 3: taught me the game. I thought I knew the game,

97
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 3: but you know, sitting down and having a conversation with him,

98
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: you know right away like I don't know much about

99
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 3: what I think I do, So I you know, I

100
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 3: always think on because he meant a lot to me,

101
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: not only in my personal life and the friendship we

102
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 3: have and we built over the years, but as a coach,

103
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 3: what he was allowed to coach and teach me, that's

104
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: why I became the player I became, and that's why

105
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 3: I moved from nose tackle to a defensive tackle to

106
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 3: in and then I can flop to go to this side.

107
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 6: So I didn't do.

108
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 3: I didn't play a nose tradition like any other two

109
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 3: gap nose because Bill had a luxury of moving me

110
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 3: in different positions and I can produce at those positions.

111
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 3: So it just allowed us as a team in defense

112
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 3: to manipulate a lot of play calling from my offense

113
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: and start standing the point, you know, because they never

114
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: knew where I was going to be, you know, And.

115
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 4: A lot of it is common sense though, that which

116
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 4: is all right. Take best defensive linement put him on

117
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 4: worse offensive linement, maybe not be in traditional spot, but

118
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 4: that's weakness and then you win, you know what I mean.

119
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 4: But like that's it's crazy. Like I watch a lot

120
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 4: of these defenses and I'm like, are we I guess

121
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 4: we're just that much smarter Because I was out, I'm

122
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 4: sitting here and I was talking to Antonio Gates. We

123
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 4: did a show together, and he doesn't realize that I

124
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 4: was in seventh grade when he was talking about the

125
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,559
Speaker 4: game that right he was playing. I'm like, I wasn't

126
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 4: in this game. But the whole time he keeps.

127
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 6: On talking to me, how the fuck we lose these pages?

128
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 4: And it hints to me like it's because we were,

129
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 4: Like what you're talking about, we were the smartest football.

130
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: Team by by far.

131
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah we were. We always was, you know what

132
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 6: I mean.

133
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 4: Like it wasn't just know your position, you knew the

134
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: rhyme and reason why you were doing what you were doing.

135
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 3: It's a lot of times I lined up and I

136
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 3: knew we had teams where first play of the game,

137
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 3: I'm lined up somewhere opposite and the nose because office

138
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: line would say it. You know, I got a lot

139
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: of old crap. Didn't realize I was going to be

140
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 3: over there. So now I know, Okay, now I'm playing

141
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 3: with your scheme because everything you prepare for it's not it.

142
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 3: Now you have to go back to the drawing board

143
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 3: and you have to figure out, Okay, where event's going

144
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 3: to be, what they're gonna be playing. We thought he

145
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 3: was gonna be this, but now but yeah, I remember

146
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: like a lot of office linemen like, oh, crap, you

147
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 3: over here, what you're doing over here?

148
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 7: Yeah?

149
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 6: The screw you'll play up a simple as that.

150
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 4: Now a guy you played with on those defenses is

151
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 4: now the head coach of the New England Patriots, Mike Rabel.

152
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 6: I love it.

153
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that? I love it, you know.

154
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: And the thing is I had the luxury to be

155
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: a player with Mike, and in Houston he was a

156
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 3: linebackers coach, so coach for Mike, I mean played for Mike.

157
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 3: And I always knew since the time that our plan

158
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 3: days that he was going to be a head coach.

159
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 3: I always knew that. I mean, he was a coach,

160
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 3: like no doubt in my mind that was going to happen.

161
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: And I love that move because he's going to get

162
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 3: the best out of everybody. And he's very smart when

163
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: it comes to the game of football. He knows exactly

164
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: what he's doing. He know how to he know how

165
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: he wanted to deliver messages. He's outspoken. If he believes something,

166
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: he believe in it. If he don't like something, he'll

167
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 3: tell you. I mean, he will speak his mind. But

168
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 3: at the same time, the respect that he receives is

169
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 3: because what he poured out. So I think we're in

170
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 3: good hands with Mike. I really do believe we're going

171
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: to do We're gonna do some wonders this year. I mean,

172
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 3: we're going to sell a different football team this year.

173
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 3: And I'm expecting for us to shock a lot of people,

174
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: you know, just because of I know Mike as a

175
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 3: person and a player and the coach.

176
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 6: I've already known him, you know, I know it.

177
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 3: And they spend money, Yeah, they gonna spend guess what

178
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: he ain't for the hottest hand. If he wants somebody,

179
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 3: he gonna let me know we need this player. I

180
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 3: don't want him, we need him. He'll tell him, you know.

181
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: And and that's what I love about him. He's a

182
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: he's a player's coach. But at the same time, he's disciplined.

183
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 3: He's going to have a smart football team, not gonna

184
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 3: make a lot of dumb mistakes, and they're gonna play

185
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: hard for him. They're gonna play hard for him. So

186
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 3: I'm excited about it. I'm happy that, you know, we

187
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 3: diget Mike, you know, if that was the choice, I

188
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 3: love that we we went and grabbed him because I

189
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: think he'll do wonders for us.

190
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think these teams are going to look more

191
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: like our old teams?

192
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, in some capacity. Yeah, I think one of the

193
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: main things we're going to get is the competitiveness and

194
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: aggressive play I think, and a smart team.

195
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 6: You know.

196
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 3: So you're gonna see we're gonna look We're gonna look apart.

197
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 3: We're going to look like we know what we're doing.

198
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 3: You know, the past four or five years, we didn't

199
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: look like that. We were we you know, the past

200
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: four or five years, you know what we look like.

201
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 3: We looked like teams we used to talk about, Yeah,

202
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: like how can how you do that?

203
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 6: That's how we used to look.

204
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: I don't think we'll look like that teams we're gon

205
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: We're going to be coached very very well and hard

206
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 3: and we're going to play hard.

207
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: What what's the difference between Raves as a coach and

208
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: a player? Really nothing, really nothing nothing.

209
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: That's why when I play with him, he's the same

210
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: guy as a coach then when I played with him.

211
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 6: You gotta understand.

212
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 3: I've seen Rave, him and Tom Brady go at it

213
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: on the sideline or practicing. You know, I've seen Brave

214
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 3: Raves walking out a quarterbacks meeting with Tom. I've seen

215
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 3: Rave and Tom walking down the hallway with a playbook

216
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 3: talking about this. And I've seen Ray and Tom talking

217
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 3: about scheme I saw and I heard Ray tell Tom

218
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 3: that would never work against this guy.

219
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 6: I've seen it.

220
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 3: Like so, the respect Tom gave him for input in

221
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 3: what he was trying to do, that tells you everything.

222
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: What was the worst thing you ever heard Coach Frable

223
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: say to Tom?

224
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 6: I mean it got f you. Yeah.

225
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: F bombs was always a part of it. He didn't

226
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 3: care who you a bill get F bombs?

227
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 6: Brave man.

228
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 3: Look at when when I tell you, when Mike believe

229
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 3: in something, he gonna stand firm in it and he's

230
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 3: gonna tell you why.

231
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: Now, That's what I love about it was he a

232
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: smart shit talker.

233
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 6: Yeah he was.

234
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he like pulled something out of the cuddies.

235
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 3: I've been on the field where the call come in

236
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 3: and raise, He'll shake your head.

237
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 6: That's not gonna work.

238
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 3: I've been in the huddle with him, or when we

239
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 3: in the meeting room. That's not gonna work. And he'll

240
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 3: tell you why he was so smart as a player.

241
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 3: It was just you would never believe that he was

242
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 3: a linebacker. The way he saw the game. He saw

243
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 3: it as a head coach, scenario situation. He's seen it

244
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 3: as a head coach as a player.

245
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: Now, this just popped it in my head.

246
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 4: Do you think Bill liked Rabel more than you because

247
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 4: he let him play offense and gave him a touchdown?

248
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 3: Look, kid, that's one thing I regret with Bill, Like,

249
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 3: come on, Bill like and the crazy thing is, but

250
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 3: the thing is he did Seymore. He let Seymore line

251
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: up in the backfield. So I'm like, man, listen, no,

252
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 3: no shade towards anybody. But I was the best. I

253
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: was the pad on the defense, hands down. Tell him

254
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 3: straight up. I returned kicks in high school. I kicked

255
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 3: the ball in high school. I did I played every

256
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 3: position you could possibly name on on the field. One

257
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 3: position I would never play its center, but I tried

258
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 3: it and I hated it. But I played every position

259
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 3: like I played basketball. I dunked basketball, I did all

260
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 3: of that. I was the greatest poundful pound athletes on

261
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 3: the pages. I mean, Jamie Collins pretty tight. But listen,

262
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 3: here a guy in my side to do what I did,

263
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 3: we're not for to play this. I played lineback, I dropped,

264
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 3: dropped in cover like. I could do all of that.

265
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: And you could dance. I could dance like a ballerina.

266
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 6: I could dance.

267
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: My footwork was.

268
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 4: Good, and you could you could move like a ballerina.

269
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 3: So for me not to be on the offensive side

270
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: of the ball when I see a lot of guys

271
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 3: not just from us, but other teams, you know, putting

272
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 3: their guys in the background that you know, have some

273
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 3: athleticism to them, you know, that was kind of bombed

274
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 3: out for me.

275
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 4: Now would that be a perfect moment to use if

276
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 4: Bill you saw Bill Folk, Oh.

277
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 6: I hit him with that? Well, yeah, you motherfuck you.

278
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 3: Remember when it was Matt Cassel and Tom going back

279
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 3: and forth, Oh my god, what happened?

280
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 6: They was going back and forth pranking each other.

281
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 3: So so I think Matt philed Tom Carve for all

282
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 3: of these.

283
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 6: Little bubbles peanuts, peanuts.

284
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 9: So Tom took his tires and hit him everywhere and

285
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 9: hit him like so he had three tires and still

286
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 9: was looking for one.

287
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 6: It was in the bubble. So Bill finally like, look, guys,

288
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 6: she stopped screwing around.

289
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 3: You plead too much playing it's kidding out of the trill,

290
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 3: just kidd So Bill had to put a stop to it.

291
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 6: Man, it was going for weeks. It was going, dude,

292
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 6: they were.

293
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm like, dude, when I was when I

294
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 3: tell you some of my most funniest times in life,

295
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 3: it's on a football fielding in the locker room, you

296
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 3: know what. So people always ask me, do you miss

297
00:13:58,400 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 3: the game? I'm like, no, you know, I missed my

298
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 3: tea he mas in the locker room and the fans.

299
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 6: That's what I miss. I don't miss the game itself.

300
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 3: I missed the camaraderie just hanging out in the locker

301
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 3: room two three hours after we finished, and just sitting

302
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 3: down and drinking gatory and just hanging out in the

303
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 3: locker room.

304
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 10: Like next up, Nate Edner Share is something he was

305
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 10: very nervous to tell coach Belichick.

306
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: What's your best Bill story? Anything?

307
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 7: Oh man, even Bill's story. I mean, that takes me

308
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 7: to the Olympics. Honestly, what is it?

309
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 8: So?

310
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, how does this conversation go?

311
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 7: So obviously, you know, rugby was still in the background

312
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 7: of my mind. I'm on the Patriots. I thought I

313
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 7: would play in the NFL for two or three years

314
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 7: and get booted and I'd go back to playing rugby.

315
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 7: And here I am making at work. Right, we win

316
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 7: the Super Bowl versus Seattle, we come back, you know

317
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 7: two thousand and Rugby got announced into the Olympics in

318
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 7: like two thousand and nine, so it was always on

319
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 7: my radar. Yeah, it's gonna be in the Olympics.

320
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: We all used to bust your balls about it, right.

321
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 7: But we never Yeah, but we never you know, I mean,

322
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 7: we had to still qualify. I didn't think all that.

323
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 7: Twenty fifteen rolls around. We just won the Super Bowl.

324
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 7: USA qualifies for the Olympics, and I'm like, oh shit,

325
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 7: like they're going. And at that point I was obsessed.

326
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 7: You know. We'd be in meetings and I'd be daydreaming

327
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 7: about you know, just Dyson, dude, scissors scissors switch Sweechman,

328
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 7: but no, I just kind of became obsessed with it.

329
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 7: And then in twenty fifteen, we made to the AFC

330
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 7: Championship versus Denver. You know, obviously that game didn't go

331
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 7: how we wanted and within like three days and I

332
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 7: was in a contract year, so I was going into

333
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 7: my second contract after that. I knew Bill would be

334
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 7: calling pretty soon, and you know, eventually he does and

335
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 7: we get the contract stuff figured out, and I'm like,

336
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 7: I gotta talk to him about this Olympic thing. You know,

337
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 7: I was really worried about it, cause, like obviously, like

338
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 7: when I was a rookie, Jeff Damps, you remember him,

339
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 7: he wanted to go to the Olympics. And Bill was like,

340
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 7: ain't playing football if you go to the Olympics. And

341
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 7: he went and I think he actually was on the

342
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 7: four by one hundred, yeah for one, but he never

343
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 7: played football again after that, and I was like, I

344
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 7: got a good thing going here, like I don't want

345
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 7: to mess this up. And you made play though, Jeff,

346
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 7: he never he never was too young, he didn't have

347
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 7: enough time exactly, but that's what I had seeing from him.

348
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 7: I saw Bill say no, and I'm like, you know,

349
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 7: I'm not so sure. So you know, I'm worried about it.

350
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 7: But I I called Bill. We talked about well, he

351
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 7: called me about the contracts.

352
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: Do you have his numbers?

353
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 6: What do you have?

354
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 4: Him saved that as like coach b B.

355
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 7: Bill Belichick.

356
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: I just had coach coach b B.

357
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, you know, whatever works for you anyway, So

358
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 7: he calls about the contract, We get that square and

359
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 7: then like I just remember at the end, I just

360
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 7: avoided it. The whole conversation. I was like, so, Bill,

361
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 7: like there's this other thing I wanted to talk to

362
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 7: you about.

363
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 8: Did he know?

364
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 11: No?

365
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 7: And he was like close, you probably didn't even know.

366
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 7: And then I was like he's like he's like what

367
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 7: what's up. He's like what what do you got? And

368
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 7: I'm like, so, like, rugby is in the Olympics and

369
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 7: the USA qualified, and I feel like I gotta go

370
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 7: do this. And I was like waiting for his response,

371
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 7: and right away though, he was like, yeah, go ahead,

372
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 7: and it was just like what go ahead? And He's

373
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 7: like yeah, I mean I know how much rugby means

374
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 7: you and you'll be representing the country if you make

375
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 7: it and then you know that'd be great, go for it.

376
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 7: And I was just like, well, okay, and we hung up,

377
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 7: and then.

378
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: Like, you like, is the contract so good?

379
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, but so so. So we hung up, and then

380
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 7: like an hour or two later he calls me back

381
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 7: and he's like, heyny, so this rugby thing, it's not

382
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 7: like you're going sailing. I'll never do it. It's not

383
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 7: like you're going sailing. You know, we got to put Something's.

384
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: Not like you're going fucking sailing exactly, that's better.

385
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 7: And and he's like, you know, we got to put

386
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 7: something in your contract if something haven't see you And

387
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 7: I said absolutely, But I was at the point where

388
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 7: I was expecting a no. And then I was like

389
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 7: I'm doing this anyway. And I was going to come

390
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 7: back as a free agent and to go with a contract.

391
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 7: You know, you know, it just couldn't have been. I

392
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 7: never thought it would work out that way. So I

393
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 7: obviously end up going and then you know, just a

394
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 7: piggyback that while I actually made the team and stuff,

395
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 7: and we can talk about that if you want. But

396
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 7: when I played in the Olympics and Bill had you

397
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 7: guys stop training camp to watch me in the team room.

398
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 7: I mean, I want to know what your perspective was

399
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 7: on that if you remember it. But for him to

400
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 7: do that, because I was one of the guys on

401
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 7: the team and it was important and to stop training

402
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 7: camp to do that, and to have everybody wear the

403
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 7: Ebner shirts out there like Stevie b made up, I mean,

404
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,040

00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 7: that like brotherhood and support like first class. You know.

406
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 7: They didn't have to do that. Bill didn't have to

407
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 7: do that.

408
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 4: No, without a doubt. That was so awesome. I mean,

409
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 4: we were so happy for you.

410
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,880

Speaker 4: was a team and building moment to support one of

420
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 4: our guys. And Bill was always really good about that,

421
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 4: especially if it had something to do with support in America.

422
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 4: Yeah it was, you know Bill, Bill loved the America stuff.

Speaker 1: You'll understand what's the way, what's the way?

470
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 11: So Nash gets in there coaching Nashes our string coach,

471
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 11: and he's like, really, hop on the scale. So I

472
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 11: hop on the scale. I think I was tipping that

473
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 11: thing at between two thirty five two forty sec running

474
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 11: back between the tackles. I'm a big bat. Hey, I

475
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 11: obviously did something right because Coach you drafted me. Like

476
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 11: what you saw, Nash is like redally, you got some

477
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 11: work to do.

478
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 5: I'm like, all.

479
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 11: Right, you know, I ain't scared of work. Coach said,

480
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 11: you got to be at two twenty. I said two twenty.

481
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 11: How I said, Nash, you're tripping. I talked to you're tripping, bro.

482
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 11: I said, nah, He said, don't ask me. I'm just

483
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 11: telling you what the boss man said. And I said, well,

484
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,239
Speaker 11: which boss man we talking about? He said, you can

485
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 11: go see the head man if you want to there.

486
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 11: I went, you know what I mean, like, what's the problem.

487
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 11: I gotta go talk to coach and see what's up

488
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 11: because what reason?

489
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 4: So you went from weight room. Yeah, you took that

490
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 4: long ass walk down those hallways.

491
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 5: To that entry door and you saw Bears cross Bears's office.

492
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 5: I said, Bears is coach available? And I didn't think

493
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 5: I was doing anything wrong.

494
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 11: I might have been getting off on the wrong foot

495
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 11: with Bill Belichick because here I am, as a rookie

496
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 11: walking into his office.

497
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 5: Try to tell him what my.

498
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 11: Playing weight would be. But what do I know. I'm

499
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 11: a rookie, guys, you know what I mean. I'm just

500
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 11: coming in, like, coach, come on. So Nash is telling me,

501
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 11: I'm two thirty five on a light day, two forty

502
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 11: if I finished leaving the breakfast buffet, eat my bacon

503
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 11: and omelets and grits that I get every day.

504
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 5: So he's like, we want you to by a certain day.

505
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 11: I can't remember what he said, so I was like, man,

506
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 11: that's impossible. I was like, there's no way I'm gonna

507
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 11: be able to do that. So I walked back. I said,

508
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 11: all right, Coach and Ash, I'm head on up to

509
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 11: go talk to Bill to see what's up. See if

510
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 11: I can kind of work this out.

511
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: You thought you're going in there and negotiate a couple

512
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: of pounds. Go talk to coach, you'd coach, you give

513
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: me two twenty eight.

514
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 5: Hey, anything we beat it? Can we meet in the

515
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 5: middle and y'all. When I tell y'all, coach is.

516
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 4: So paint the picture. You walk in? What's where's he is?

517
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 4: He at his desk at his computer.

518
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 11: Okay, So I leave, I leave our weight room walk

519
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 11: through the locker room, go buy our meeting the room,

520
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 11: go down the hallway.

521
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 5: And of course I'm not really as scared or because

522
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 5: you don't know yet.

523
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 11: I don't know yet, That's what I'm saying, Like, I'm

524
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 11: not as I'm naive.

525
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: I you're gonna talk to Bill.

526
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 5: Go talk to Bill, you know, like can I not

527
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 5: go talk? Hey? And truly what I look back on

528
00:23:58,560 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 5: things now, I.

529
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 4: Was walking by with the hallway as a second year

530
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 4: or third year guy.

531
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: Just like what a dumb ass.

532
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 5: So I cut down the hallway.

533
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 11: You're saying all this to say, I have seen I

534
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 11: want to get too far off track, but I've seen rookies, y'all,

535
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 11: Like on my back end because I was there for

536
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 11: four years, I've seen rookies come in and see Bill

537
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 11: coming down the hallway and they would literally like just

538
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 11: bust the left or right into a random meeting room

539
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 11: because they don't want to look this man in his eyes.

540
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 5: Bro Like, Bill comes down the hallway, I'm not making.

541
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 11: This up, cut sweatshirt, looks like he's been in his

542
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 11: office for three days.

543
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 5: People are like streaked dollar, you know what I mean.

544
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 11: So I walked down there and I'm like, hey, you

545
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 11: can't get to Bill without going through Bears. But if

546
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 11: you make that right into that office, you better have

547
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 11: a damn good reason to go in there. And I

548
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 11: had a damn good reason that day, coach, because I

549
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 11: can't drop off this weight trying to get me to

550
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 11: drop it. Let me show you how much he cared.

551
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 11: I walked in, I said, coach, and he's at his

552
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 11: death He's at his desk. He's sitting at his desk,

553
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 11: behind his desk. I said, coach could come in and

554
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 11: sit down. He said, yeah, Rid, come on in and

555
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 11: sit down.

556
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 7: Okay.

557
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: Did he know you were coming? Or is he blindsided?

558
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 11: He was blindsided? He was blindsided. Bears let me in.

559
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 11: You know, Bears check said, you know, Steven's here to

560
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 11: talk to you.

561
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: Did you tell Bears while you were talking to him?

562
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 5: I can't really remember those details, but I definitely.

563
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 6: What did Bear did?

564
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 1: Just here's you go?

565
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 6: Sure?

566
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 5: Bears looked at me. I guess I walked in.

567
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 11: I was like, Bears his coach available, and he kind

568
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 11: of looked up and I was like, I just need

569
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 11: to talk to him real quick.

570
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 7: I guess nothing.

571
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: So Bill's sit you down.

572
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 11: And when I walk in there. Bill's sitting behind his

573
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 11: desk and he's like, come on in and sit down.

574
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 11: So I walked in and sat. He's like, what you

575
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 11: got D said, coach, uh, I need to talk to

576
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 11: you about this weight. I was like, I just wait in,

577
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 11: you know, and coaching Nash told me at the weight

578
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 11: that you have told him that you want me to

579
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 11: play at, and I'm just making sure this is the

580
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 11: right weight and this is not like a mistake like

581
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 11: and he said, what's the number? I can't really remember

582
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 11: what I had? And nada YadA, I said, well, the

583
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 11: number is.

584
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: You could have gone right there. If you wanted to

585
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 1: make the decision, you could have said to twenty five

586
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: because you if you if he didn't remember the weight,

587
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: maybe he would have agreed at two twenty five. All right,

588
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: you messed up. Go ahead.

589
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 11: I should have had a better negotiation tactic, as though

590
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 11: what Juill said. But I'm just in there trying not

591
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 11: to die and starve myself out at this rate. So

592
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 11: I go in and I say, well, coach, this weight

593
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 11: that you want me at? I said, Coach naw, I said,

594
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 11: you want me at two twenty and I said that's impossible.

595
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 11: So I'm just telling you right now. I don't know

596
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 11: what it is. And I said, I don't know how

597
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 11: you want me to get there. I said, I'll bust

598
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 11: my ass and do whatever. But I'm like two twenty,

599
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 11: I said, can I just tell you a little bit

600
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 11: about me? Like like he doesn't already know you drafted me.

601
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 11: The Patriots investigate everybody. They know everything about you before

602
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 11: they even get you in the building. So I said, Coach, what.

603
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: Did he say?

604
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 6: Can I tell you about me?

605
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 11: I said, can I tell you about me? And he

606
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 11: was like, sure, know you just dry you know, it's

607
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 11: not too much. I pulled out my driver's license and

608
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 11: I pulled out my drivers It's true story. I pulled

609
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 11: out my driver's license. I said, Coach, look, look, I

610
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 11: just want to show you this, I said, coach, and

611
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 11: I promise this true store, I said, I just want

612
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 11: to tell you, like, if you can look at my

613
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 11: driver's license. I slid it on his desk. You know,

614
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 11: I'm bold as a rookie. And he's like, what it was,

615
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 11: this clown?

616
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?

617
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 11: I said, these numbers that are on my driver's license

618
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 11: from when I got my permit in high school to

619
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 11: before I even got a driver's license, my permit, and

620
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 11: on my permit at fifteen and a half years old,

621
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 11: I was five eleven two hundred and twenty pounds. That's

622
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 11: how much I weighed in high school. So I said, coach,

623
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 11: you mean to tell me that you want me to

624
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 11: drop from two thirty eight all the way down to

625
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 11: two twenty And he looked at me and he said,

626
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 11: kind of smacked those lips, well read, I mean, really,

627
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 11: I think it's only about five hundred and sixty three

628
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 11: dollars per pound per day that you're overweight, So it's

629
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 11: really up to you. And I said what, I'm like,

630
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 11: what do you mean? He was like per pound per

631
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 11: day and he doubled down on it. I was like,

632
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 11: I can do quick math, bro, I'm third round drift pick.

633
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 11: I ain't got money like that. So fat camp, I went,

634
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 11: you know what I mean, I'm like, screw it, coach,

635
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 11: you know what I mean. If that's how we're gonna

636
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 11: go about it, there's nothing not going to do.

637
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: What's fat camp until so.

638
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 11: Fat camp consisted of me coming in once I had

639
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 11: to drop from two thirty eight to my weight when

640
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 11: I was fifteen years old of two twenty. It required

641
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 11: me changing my diet with our beautiful nutrition Ted. First,

642
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 11: Ted put me on this stript die. I had to

643
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 11: come into fat Camp, which was running before practice, so

644
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 11: we had to come in and even do our workout

645
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 11: what like before practice in the mornings, or we had

646
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 11: to go and do our workout after practice once we

647
00:28:58,880 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 11: got off the field.

648
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 5: I was always an.

649
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 11: Early riser, so I came in early in the morning,

650
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 11: so fat Camp I was basically in there with all

651
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 11: the guys who were overweight that we're trying to cut weight.

652
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 11: So I would have to go in every morning and

653
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 11: I'm talking about it's still dark outside at five am

654
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 11: and just hit the treadmill and run. And so that

655
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 11: was the first time that I really I think the

656
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 11: structure and I look back on them like that structure

657
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 11: and that discipline.

658
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 5: It it made me a good.

659
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 11: Pro because I legit dropped this weight for the simple

660
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 11: fact that I was not gonna give up my money.

661
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 11: And let's do the math. If I'm two thirty eight

662
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 11: and the weight it's two twenty, let's do that times

663
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 11: five hundred and sixty three bucks times eighteen per day,

664
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 11: Like my paychecks are gonna be pretty thin. You know,

665
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 11: the Massachusetts state taxes weren't too forgiving, you know what

666
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 11: I mean? I don't need to be giving away any extra.

667
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 4: Eight point three now six point eight. It used to

668
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 4: be there's some new shit.

669
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 6: Something crazy.

670
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 11: So I got on board with the program, and coach

671
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 11: didn't really like yell at me or nothing like that.

672
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 11: But I don't know if I kind of rubbed them

673
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 11: the wrong way from jump, but it was just like

674
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 11: one of those deals. It shook me up as a rook.

675
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 11: I'm like, how on the hell am I about to

676
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 11: drop twenty pounds? Are twenty five pounds? And you want

677
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 11: me to run between the tackle? Bang it out with

678
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 11: the Brandon Spikes of the worlds and the drawing males

679
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 11: of the world linebackers at two fifty five?

680
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 6: Were you were?

681
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 3: You?

682
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: Were you better? Two twenty?

683
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 5: As quick as a cat man? Freaking nasty dude?

684
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 11: Like what once I got to that playing weight, I'm like, hey,

685
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 11: you know Bill knows what the hell he's talking about.

686
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 6: Who else with you?

687
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 4: Dude?

688
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 5: I think big Marcus Cannon was in the ko.

689
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: Cannon and cheat the fucking scale.

690
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 4: Remember that one time Marcus Cannon he used to have

691
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 4: to weigh in all the time. He was always in fact,

692
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 4: he was just using probation all the time. And he

693
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 4: would go in and he would do it with a

694
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 4: towel on his weight and then he'd have a pencil

695
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 4: right like here so he could leverage himself up at huh. Yes,

696
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 4: he could lean on it and lift it up and

697
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 4: he would fucking make They caught him like three times.

698
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 4: Kenny used to have to. He was in fact camp

699
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 4: like his whole career.

700
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 11: It's a it's it's a grind, bro, because people don't

701
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 11: really realize it's like, man, once coach sets this, you know,

702
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,959
Speaker 11: coach had just start coaching up either, No, that is

703
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 11: your weight. So my four years in New England, I

704
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 11: played at two twenty. But Bro, I never was like

705
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 11: a top end guy. I never had like breakaway speed,

706
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 11: So I always prided myself on living by five yards

707
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 11: of carry. Like if I get five yards every time

708
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 11: I touch his pill, that's halfway to a first down.

709
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 11: I can bang it out with whoever DB's safeties. I

710
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 11: used to hit those motherfuckers like speed bumps, Bro, Like

711
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 11: I wasn't even worried about I was just downhill with it.

712
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 11: But once you got to the league, and you had

713
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 11: to lose that weight, you know, you became more of

714
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 11: a pro, you know what I mean. And so Bill

715
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 11: went back and after we didn't get the negotiation the

716
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 11: first time, I think it was about halfway through the season,

717
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 11: I'm like, coach, can I get a couple pounds? Give

718
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 11: me a little bit here there? He still didn't lighten up.

719
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 11: But it was just like I learned to respect that, bro,

720
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 11: don't question just do you know what I mean? Because

721
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 11: it made me a hell of a running back, It

722
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 11: really did. And I would have never been there. I

723
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 11: never even thought about playing that light because I didn't

724
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 11: think I had the pop behind my pads to be

725
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 11: a first and second down back and a short yardage

726
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 11: back like I was.

727
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 5: But I was wrong. I can say that.

728
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 4: He's probably at that point in his career seeing about

729
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 4: a thousand a year.

730
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, And that's the way that he wants to me.

731
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: He's seen the her them all.

732
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 5: You know. I brought that. I brought that Southern flair to.

733
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 11: The locker room, you know what I mean, Like we

734
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 11: believe coming out of LSU, man, it was like, you

735
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 11: look good, you play good.

736
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 5: You gotta be swagged out, you know, what I mean.

737
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 11: You gotta have some good tunes and have the energy going.

738
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 11: So I used to pull up the game day and

739
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 11: the hummer, you know what I mean, subs going beating

740
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 11: the block down, holler at my people at the game,

741
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 11: Oh what's up? And it was just always do a

742
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 11: donut in there for the crowd. Hey that's another story too, man.

743
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 11: Hey remember when we had the big snows. You don't remember,

744
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 11: So we had a big snow store.

745
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, we were all just ripping donuts in the parking

746
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 9: lot to the parking lot. And I do that every

747
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 9: snow and crashed in the Marcus cannon. Did you before

748
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 9: the game? Before the game, we're out there just going nut.

749
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: Before a game. I do like on a Friday when

750
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: there's no one in there.

751
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 11: I think it was like before. I want to say

752
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 11: it was before the game because we had the snows.

753
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 11: When we're taking those back roads you know where you

754
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 11: go through Foxboro. You know you had the little houses

755
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 11: and everybody was like lived next to each other, so

756
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 11: it's like a caravan. All the boys were taking the

757
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 11: back roads to get to the stadium. So I see

758
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 11: this parking lot that hadn't been hitting, no tread no

759
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 11: tracking there. I'm like fresh powder, whip it right right

760
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 11: there in the hummer and there I go. I'm smashing

761
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 11: on it, doing donuts out there. And the funny thing is,

762
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 11: I remember it clear as day, Wes Welker's house in

763
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 11: the backyard and Cannon. I'll doing donuts out there, and

764
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 11: all of a sudden you see walkers Cannon come over

765
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 11: the hill and his Toyota tundra ramps over the hill

766
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 11: and he's got pipes on his and he's like ah,

767
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 11: And we're spinning out there and hitting it, just having

768
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 11: a blast until of course we lose control and I

769
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 11: hit cannon and boom small And when I smacked it,

770
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 11: I looked over and I swear you see the blind

771
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 11: slide over like this, And Wes stuck his head out

772
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 11: there and he was like, oh, y'all fucking idiots. He

773
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 11: just closed the blondes and went on by his business.

774
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 11: Because I really want to say it was either like

775
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 11: before gave were happy there. But I remember seeing West

776
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 11: the big old blue eyes, you know what I'm saying,

777
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 11: Like he's looking out the blinds. It's like, man, who

778
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 11: was I didn't know if it was a neighborhood of

779
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 11: Wes like, oh, y'all are fucking idiots, dude. Was it

780
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 11: was funny, but hey, we're having a good time. But

781
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 11: that was that was our Foxborough days.

782
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 4: So basically that story just told me that when Bill

783
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 4: tells us before training camp, don't drive like a fucking idiot.

784
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: In Foxborough, he was talking to you.

785
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 5: He was talking about me. Okay, he was talking about me.

786
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 10: He was next up, we got Matt light on his

787
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 10: hilarious paints. He pulling coach Belichick.

788
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 8: And Bill's kind of pissed off, like, yeah, what did

789
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 8: you do?

790
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 4: I heard that story once you went into his office

791
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 4: and what did you do?

792
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 3: So?

793
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 12: I had this remote right again, this is back in

794
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 12: the day when this stuff didn't really exist. But I

795
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 12: was always surfing the net and it was a mouse

796
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 12: and it plugged in actually, but they didn't do anything

797
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 12: when you plug in, and you couldn't actually control the mouse.

798
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 12: But there were I don't know how you get this

799
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 12: much energy out of two triple A batteries, but those

800
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 12: two triple A batteries, when you hit that mouse button,

801
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 12: it would send like Jesus through your body, like real quick.

802
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 12: And so he was in a staff meeting it was.

803
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 12: It was in training camp and nobody was there. So

804
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 12: I slip in and I'm on my way out. They're

805
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 12: still working really hard, trying to make us better. And

806
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 12: I go in in and I put that thing on

807
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 12: his laptop on his desk. I come in the next morning,

808
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 12: you know, dying next killing me. It's like the start

809
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 12: training camp. I'm not even thinking about what I did

810
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 12: to night before. And Ben Bears is like immediately when

811
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 12: I walk in, he's like not good, like like seriously like,

812
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 12: and you can see in his eyes like the bear,

813
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 12: the bears, the bear not good. And I'm like what

814
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 12: but I know I know what he's saying, right, but

815
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 12: I'm like, what are you talking about? Denied to you die?

816
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 12: And he's like just telling you it's not good, man.

817
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 12: What happens is not good. And I'm like, hey, look,

818
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 12: I can't play this game right now. I gotta go

819
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 12: get ready. So I walk into the meal room and

820
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 12: when I walk in there, Matty p has just got

821
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 12: some toast or something and he turns around and he

822
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 12: sees me and he's like, you're an idiot. And I'm

823
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 12: like what, I'm like YouTube, and he's like, hey man,

824
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 12: he's fired up and because of your dumb ass, we

825
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 12: spent like two more extra hours here last night.

826
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 8: And I'm like, for what and.

827
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 12: He goes, well, he goes, I know it was you.

828
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 12: And when he shocked himself. The first time he had

829
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 12: he had his hand off the keyboard. The second time

830
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 12: his hand hit the keyboard and it deleted his notes.

831
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 12: You know how he takes notes everything of everything, everything, Like, hey,

832
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 12: by the way, this is crazy, man. Here's here's a

833
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 12: great example. Let's say we're playing the Jets and it's

834
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 12: it's it's Monday afternoon, so we're playing a divisional game, right,

835
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 12: It's we're coming off a loss on the road, and

836
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 12: you know we we have a two key players on

837
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 12: defense and went down. He'll go back in his notes

838
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 12: and do keyword search or something, and he'll find a

839
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 12: scenario that mimics that almost.

840
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 8: To a t.

841
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 12: And then he'll look and see, how did I address

842
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 12: the team. Did I go hard on him? Did I

843
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 12: take it easy on him? Did I push him? And

844
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 12: how hard did I push him? Did we practice a

845
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,919
Speaker 12: certain way? What was the outcome? How did it come out?

846
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 12: All that stuff gets analyzed, man, that's the craziness in

847
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 12: the complexity that a lot of people don't realize. I

848
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 12: don't know how much that weighs in his success or

849
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 12: whatever else, but that's who he is. Right So when now,

850
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 12: by the way, first time he didn't have his hand

851
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 12: on a keyboard, the second time he shocked himself, he

852
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 12: did and it closed in a program. The way I

853
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 12: look at that is you're an error repeater. That the

854
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,439
Speaker 12: first one was my fault, second one that's your fault.

855
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 8: Now didn't We didn't.

856
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 12: Talk about that, but I will say this, when he

857
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 12: lost that, that was not a good day because it

858
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 12: wasn't like auto save apparently, so all of his notes

859
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 12: for that day apparently went by bye.

860
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 8: And what I thought was real.

861
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 12: So I wanted to go get my mouse, but I

862
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 12: left that thing in there, buddy. Once I heard about that,

863
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 12: when I was like, yeah, that thing's going on.

864
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 4: What did he say to you?

865
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 12: He I mean literally he said something like, I mean

866
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 12: he stopped me. And by the way, Bill's kind of

867
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 12: like Tommy, like, I have no idea how time he

868
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 12: got from one meeting room to the next. I don't

869
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 12: know if he floated in the atmosphere he like like

870
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 12: became particles and just reappears like in weird places. Obviously,

871
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 12: he didn't shower toime, he never showered. Never, nobody ever

872
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 12: saw him in there weird.

873
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 4: Well, actually I see him a couple of times. He'd

874
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 4: have the two shower heads on him. Ember he would

875
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 4: be in the corner sometimes rarely shower heads. I'm like, dude, yeah,

876
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 4: two showers.

877
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 6: I know.

878
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 8: And neither one of those heads wanted to be pointed

879
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 8: to him.

880
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 12: No, seriously, Like the water was like, he's he's hydrophobic,

881
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 12: like it, like water doesn't like him.

882
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: He got to think about it.

883
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 4: He probably goes to like his sick home where like

884
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 4: he's got like hydrogen based water.

885
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 12: No, I'm listen, I think he has to wash him

886
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 12: every day. I think so seriously, that's Alex little tiny hands, Like,

887
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 12: so what did Bill say?

888
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 8: Hey man?

889
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 12: He was fired up. He basically told me if you

890
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 12: go in my office again, I will kill you. And

891
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 12: of course I did not. I'm like, coach, what are

892
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 12: we even talking about? He's like, you know exactly what

893
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 12: we're talking about. I really don't, I said, but I'm

894
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 12: gonna get some food here, I'll see in the meeting room.

895
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 12: And but it was weird because Maddy p came at

896
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 12: me and so the Bears, and I thought I thought

897
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 12: they were like flipping it on me, right, like, oh,

898
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 12: we're gonna make him think that, you know, coaches really

899
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 12: fired up. No coaches because Dante was the last one,

900
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 12: because you know, Dante doesn't mess around.

901
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 8: Dante was real matter what did Scarr say?

902
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 12: Like He's like, I don't think that was a good idea.

903
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 12: You probably shouldn't go in the head coach's office. And

904
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 12: I'm like you too, I'm like, I don't know what

905
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 12: you're even talking about.

906
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 4: So did you deny it till day to forever?

907
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 8: Forever?

908
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 12: But that's the so again, we didn't have a conversation

909
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 12: about it. It wasn't like at some point he came to me.

910
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 12: It was like, Hey, that shit was kind of funny.

911
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 12: You got me that sh had hurt, you know, like

912
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 12: we cool to acknowledge any of this, Like, hey, remember

913
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 12: that email you sent me?

914
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 8: Like that was funny.

915
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 12: But there's a part of me that believes, like what

916
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 12: he reiterated on his concluding remarks email, that he was

917
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 12: kind of serious.

918
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying. Serious.

919
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 4: Bill used to he was notorious for fucking quizziness on spot,

920
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 4: and I could have sworn Matt Light was sleeping in

921
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:21,959
Speaker 4: a meeting and Bill tried to catch Matt and he goes, Matt,

922
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 4: you got all the fucking answer.

923
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,399
Speaker 8: Exactly what he said. Actually, I was just gonna say that.

924
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 4: Matt, you got all the fucking answers. What coverage is that?

925
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 4: And you hit the coverage? What was it like?

926
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: Two blit zone two C.

927
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 8: There was like the square root in a sly triangle

928
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 8: is equal to the I'm like, and everybody turns around.

929
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 12: They're like, because they know I sleep, Like you know

930
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 12: I sleep. I slept through every meeting and I don't. Honestly,

931
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 12: my wife was like, you're gonna get fired. Like my

932
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 12: first year, I remember Dante Scarnakia, my line coach, would

933
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 12: make me stand up in the meeting room when we

934
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,760
Speaker 12: had our offensive line meetings, and I would fall asleep

935
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 12: eating a candy bar, trying to stay awake eating a

936
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 12: candy bar, fall asleep standing and he would be like like,

937
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 12: if you if you fall asleep one more time, I

938
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 12: will kill you. And I'm like, oh man, Like I'm

939
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 12: a rookie. I didn't know what was happening on that

940
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 12: one though, so this is the greatest right, so notorious

941
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 12: sleeper Copan would kick me. He sat right behind me.

942
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 12: He would always feed me the answer too, because I

943
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 12: have not fuck, I don't know what Bill just said.

944
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 8: I was asleep and so and.

945
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 12: By the way, like football, like yes, we're a bunch

946
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 12: of Neanderthals, but like I don't need to watch that

947
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 12: seven hundred times, like all we do is sit in rewind, watch,

948
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 12: rewind watch. So on this one, if you think on

949
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,879
Speaker 12: that season, we had a bunch of young guys, and defensively,

950
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 12: as you know, the defense could get everything. You know,

951
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 12: Bill would be like, all right, look, you know, you know,

952
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 12: what are we expecting you know, he'd be talking to

953
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 12: the offense in this situation, what are we expecting them

954
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 12: to do?

955
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 8: I mean it's third down, we're in a red zone.

956
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, we got you know, whatever, we got.

957
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,240
Speaker 12: Trips, you know, And and he'd ask somebody a question

958
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 12: and it'd be like a really difficult question and we

959
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 12: would come up with an answer that's pretty good. He'd

960
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 12: be like, ah, I'm not what the fuck you know,

961
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 12: that's not what they're gonna do. I mean, god, damn it.

962
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 12: You know, I'd watch an ounce of film and then

963
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 12: he would go to the defense and he'd be like.

964
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 8: All right, guys, like what's one plus seven?

965
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 12: And they'd be like six and a half and they're like, oh,

966
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 12: that's pretty close, pretty good?

967
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 8: All right, now I'm moving on. What are we talking about?

968
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 6: Coach?

969
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,439
Speaker 8: Like those guys have no id color? Are the jerseys right?

970
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 4: Like he would give you some fucking terrible you give

971
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,280
Speaker 4: the easiest questions, these fucking defensive guys, and they always got.

972
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 12: To pass every time. So I'm listening to this and

973
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 12: I'm like, these cats have no idea. And Bill's kind

974
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 12: of pissed off, Like we had a couple of weeks

975
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 12: of coming in and I want some answers. It's a

976
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 12: Wednesday morning, right, and you better have my answers right. Well,

977
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 12: they weren't having this, So I go on my way out.

978
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 12: I don't know why, I just had this this epiphany,

979
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 12: and I walk into Coach's office, which is always awkward,

980
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 12: Like you don't go in there just to go in there,

981
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 12: Oh no, and you gotta pass Bears the little man

982
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,240
Speaker 12: purse right there at the front, right, And I love Bears,

983
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,760
Speaker 12: but you know, so anyway, I go in there, coach

984
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 12: is working at his computer and he looks up at me.

985
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 12: He's like, you know, like there wasn't a question. It

986
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 12: was just like a you know, and I'm like uh

987
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 12: and I'm right there. Immediately I'm like, why did I

988
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 12: do this? This is not gonna be I'm like, coach, hey, listen,

989
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 12: I'm like, these guys don't have the answers. Then I

990
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 12: coming in with stuff I said. I thought it'd be

991
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 12: funny if, like, you know, next time we do this,

992

00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 12: be like shit that even Brady wouldn't know.

995
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 8: And he's like, you know, all right, what are you thinking?

996
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 12: And I'm like, uh, well, you know, like you know,

997
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 12: you you say something, then I rat off an answer.

998
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 12: Then you you try to hit me with another one,

999
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:32,959
Speaker 12: try to catch me slipping, and I'll just keep ratting

1000

Speaker 12: them off, and all the guys are gonna and that

1001
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,040

00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 12: get in the film room. I need if light knows

1003
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 12: this shit, then I really need to do a little

1004
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 12: bit more studied. And it fell on deaf ears.

1005
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 8: Dude. He was just like you know, look, I mean

1006
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 8: you know.

1007
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 12: No, Like it wasn't like a hey, that sounds like

1008
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 12: a great idea or that's really stupid. It was just

1009
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 12: like indifferent. So I walked out of there thinking that

1010
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 12: that failed. Three weeks go by it I'm walking in

1011
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 12: and Bear's like, hey, Bill wants to see it, and

1012
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 12: I'm like, oh snap, what did I do? Like I

1013
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 12: forgot about the whole conversation right, And I'm not kidding.

1014
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 12: I walk in his office and immediately he goes, all right, look,

1015
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 12: you know, I'll hit you with you know that you

1016
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 12: know what they're doing the third down? And then I'm

1017
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 12: gonna I'm gonna talk to you about you know, when

1018
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 12: we get into the red zone, you know what that

1019
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 12: looks like. And then the last one, I'm like and

1020
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 12: he rattles off these three questions he's gonna ask me,

1021
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 12: and I'm like, okay, and I'm like, what's the answer, Like,

1022
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 12: I have no idea, Like you're speaking like swa helely,

1023
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 12: I have no idea what you're even referring to?

1024
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:24,439
Speaker 6: Bill?

1025
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 12: And he's like, oh well, So I grab a pin

1026
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 12: and I start writing the answers on my hand and

1027
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 12: we go in team meeting kicks off and he starts

1028
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 12: off with his typical I mean, you know, in the

1029
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 12: category of what we're not looking for, and it's some Bengals,

1030
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 12: you know, problem with some guy getting the strip club

1031
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 12: or something. Always a Bengals player, right, I swear to God,

1032
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 12: Always a Bengals player.

1033
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 4: And then then he looks to learn the Bengal formation.

1034
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 4: The f was all the way and the inside because

1035
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 4: he was in jail.

1036
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 8: In jail, easy way to remember that.

1037
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 12: So when he asked me, when he says, exactly what

1038
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 12: you said, all right, like you got all the fucking answers?

1039
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 12: All right here we what are they doing this? And

1040
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 12: I literally just rattled off immediately. I remember I could

1041
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:05,919
Speaker 12: hear the air come out of coping and he's like, shit,

1042
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 12: he's awake.

1043
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 8: And I didn't even know that one.

1044
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 12: So the next one he throws out there, immediately answer

1045
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 12: that one, and the third one I'm like literally looking

1046
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 12: at my hand, of course. And so when it's done

1047
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 12: and we leave the team meeting room, I remember the

1048
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 12: guys coming.

1049
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 8: Up to me and they're like, what the fuck. I'm like, hey,

1050
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 8: just get in a film.

1051
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 12: Room, you know, Like I didn't acknowledge the fact that

1052
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 12: Bill and I set that up. And you know, here's

1053
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,080
